EASTER IN ABBEVILLB.
RELIGIOUS SERVICES IN DECORATED

| Last Sunday was Easter, the most impor.
tant of religious festivals because commem-
orative of the resurrection Of our Lord and
Saviour, and closely associated with all those
incidents connected with the cruciflxion and
death of him TO whom we must look for inter-
cession at the throne OF grace Christians In
all ages have held the day in reverence, and
have knelt on these festivals with heartfelt
thanks for the manifold blessings which a
beloved Redeemer has conferred upon man.
kind. II we may celebrate by National
holiday the anniversary Of the birth of SOL
dier and statesman, why may we not observe
the anniversary of the resurrection Of the
Priu CO of Peace-the Saviour of mankind
the Son Of God.
The day was indeed most lovely one. Ma
ture, "all her glory showing" seemed to re-
joice, and In her brightness to shed her ra-
diaEt smiles on the earth around. Every one
seemed glad OF the opportunity to enjoy the
sunshine, and great numbers of people res
ponded to the call Of the church bells, and
took part in divine worship.
The beautifully decorated churches were
the subject of remark by many. The ladies'
of the Episcopal and Methodist congregations
exhibited much refined taste in the work,
and had placed flowers, wreaths, mottoes and
emtlems In suitable places
Tho Methodist church especially was elabo-
rately decorated-this fact being due to the
faithful work OF Mrs. Lawson and other ladies
OF the congregation. Nearly all the flowers
that contributed to beautify and adorn the
church were furnished by Mrs. Lawson.

added to the enjoyment and attraction of the
services of the different churches.
Rev. p. B. Jackson, pastor OF the Methodist
church, conducted services for large congrega-
tions In the morning and at night. The
church was never fuller than 1t was at night.
We have his excellent in type, and intended

Trinity Church.
Mr.. Hanckel conducted services in the
Episcopal church, and delivered an able and
impressive sermon from the words: "Jesus
said unto her, AM the resurrection. and the
life: be that believeth in me though he were
dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth
and beleveth in me, shall never die. Believ'
eth thou this?"
The Presbyterian Church.
While the other congregations in Abbeville
were decorating their churches, and were
Justly proud of their houses OF worship, we
know that all OF our people sympathizcd
with the Presbyteriaus In the recent loss O.
their temple. 1t was sad day for them. In
stead Of flow ers, emblems and notices to
beautify their house, the walls Of their church
were defaced by fire.
The st. James COlored Methodist
Church.
The colored Methodists paid much attention
to the decoration OF their church, and all
concurred in the effort to celebrate the day
with becoming religious zeal.

I've come unto my home again and find myself
alone
The friends left in quiet there are persisted all
and gone.
MY fathers house is tenantless--my early loves
lie low!
But one remains of all that made my youthful
spirit glow!
My loves lies by the blushing West, drest in 8

And pleasant waters sing to her and know her fol
their queen:
The wild winds fan her face, that DER the distant
pillows come

IL know I've not the cunning got to tell the love
feel,
And few give timid truth the faith they yield to
seeming zeal.
| The friends who loved me, thought me cold, and
fell off one by one

How dear thou art to this lorn heart, my own

And when I lift my voice and sing unto thy silent

And echo wakens merrily in all thy drowsy

There's not rill-a yale-a hill wild wood OF

But gives again the burning strain. and yields me

Oh, I have seen the maiden of my bosom pine and

And have seen my bosom friend look on me

And long-O long-haye all my young affections

Yet thou art all in all to me, my own-my island
home!
And now bring weary thing-a withered heart
to thee
To lay me down upon thy breast and die there
quietly.
I've wandered o'er-O, many shore, to die thif

And my soul is glad-its wish is gained, and all

For Municipal HOnOrs.

We give elsewhere the full Citizens
ticket as it has been presented for APP
prevail to the people. The candidate for
the Mayoralty is young man of vim
and energy, irreproachable in private
life-a useful member of our community
directly and personally interested in
our prosperity. We believe he will do
all in his power to- enforce the law, and
we believe he will assume the cares of
office untrammeled by obligations which
would fetter him i'm the discharge of his
duty
Those who appear with him ON the
ticket and those who constitute his ex-
ecutive committee will carry with them
the confidence and regard of all classes
of our citizens. They are known to be
among our foremost men of business,
and they are known to- be above the
temptations surrounding those on the OPP
posing slate.
We are glad to see that the name of
j. A. Hawkins is-retained on the ticket,
and sincerely hope he will be elected.
He can be assured of a hearty support,
and he will prove an honor to his race
and credit to the city if he fills a place
at our Council board.
This is no time for hesitation. Ring
rule must be broken down in Palatka,
and disorder with all its attending evils
must be punished till it disappears. Let

Our New Charter.

In another column will be found the
bill drawn up by the Committee of our
Council and Judge ellis under which
our new charter will be granted by the
Legislature. 1t has been kindly handed
us for publication that our citizens may
have leisure to read and think over its
provisions before decisive action is taken
by the Council on the evening of Tues
day next.
With some of its provisions We are
heartily in sympathy, and we believe the
instrument, as a whole, will meet with
public approval. We are especially glad
to see that sale of personality, not realty,
will be made for delinquent taxes, and
that the Council will have power to
make necessary sidewalks and crossings.
But we do not like to see the Mayor sub
jected to the annoyances attendant upon
the duties of police magistrate, and we
hope these will vet be entrusted to
another officer.
We invite careful study of the instru-
ment. and we hope suggestions will be
handed us for publication that the Coun-
Gil may form some opinion rs to- the
wishes of the people. III. r. Teasdale

Enforcing the Law.


Mayor Hewitt talks very plainly ON the
subject of the closing of unlicensed dives
and the enforcement of the Sunday law.
He declares his intention to investigate
for himself and. if he finds that the laws
are violated. to hold the Police Commits
sioners responsible. for the neglect of the
force.
Everybody will commend the Mayor
for his energy and determination. But
there are difficulties i'm the way of the
police i'm the enforcement of the SUNDAY
laws which il is only fair and just To bear
in mind. Supt. Murray reports that in
the last three months % arrests were
made for selling beer or liquor ON Sun
day. OF these, %. or nearly one-third,
were discharged by the Police Judges ~
We're let off with trifiing fines and b
were held for bail.
A policeman cannot make an arrest I'M
less he sees an actual violation of the
law. Naturally, where men are on their
guard. it is difficult To- catch them i'm the
act. This has led to the undesirable prac-
tice ON the part of the police of entering
saloons in citizens clothes and inducing

A Contrast.

Last night at dusk the people of Flor
ida were in the full enjoyment of our
mild climate and pleasant surroundings,
insuring peace and comfort. Crowds of
visitors and citizens passed each other
on our understanding babes in dainty
carriages were seen everywhere, and on
the broad piazzas of the Putnam House
ladies read the last novel as they re-
clined in easy chairs and paused to look
out on trees clothed with vivid green and
flowers in full bloom.
At the same hour the steamer Scythia,
crowded with eight hundred despairing
souls, is driven ashore on the coast of
Massachusetts in the midst of blind
ing snow Storm There is the agony of
fear, the numbing cold, the horror of
whelming seas, and no help from man as
the mad ocean finishes the work so well
begun. God pity those who live or tile
